| - Maybe I'm just spoiled, by living in California and having spent lots of time in Japan over the years. When my brother who lives nearby suggested Kabuki I said "why not?" and off we went. Well superficially it's great, nice decor, smells right, big menu with lots of choices of small plates and big plates.
It was perfectly mediocre. I ordered some gyoza and a bowl of ramen, really what i'd consider simple fare, and was underwhelmed. The gyoza were a notch above Trader Joe's, and the Ramen broth really lacked much flavor at all, until i liberally adulterated with peppers.
My brother and his wife adore this place, for the few items they order again and again - not very adventurous (they were not familiar with either gyoza or ramen - go figure).
I loved the location, the staff was pleasant and accommodating, but my palate was not really impressed. Would I come back? Absolutely. Hopefully my choices will be more in their wheelhouse next time.
